TT Tyres and fuel

Just wanted to know how many sets of tyres teams usually use for the TT fortnight.
Also typically how much fuel also.
Cheers😊

I reckon fuel is around 12 litres a lap (although im sure people with more sophisticated calculations may correct me!).

Tyres are dependent on your budget. 1 full set will do the fortnight (in fact all season, the tyres on the bike now are from when I did TT last in 2016), but people with bigger budgets will buy more tyres.

Thanks Dave, that gives me a bit of an idea around the cost for the fortnight.
